“Archer had a great day with Derek. He enjoyed walks and play time and was a happy, tired pup when he got home. Derek is very knowledgeable about dogs and was very responsive! Archer is looking forward to hanging out with him again!”
“Rebekah is extremely caring and communicative. We met her beforehand so our dog and hers could get a feel for each other. Everything went well during the meeting and we knew our dog was in great hands. She sent several updates throughout the day regarding meals and walks, and we really appreciated how much she cared for our dog while we were at work. We will definitely plan on booking with her again soon!”
“I had a really great experience with Dylan caring for my dog, Frankie. He was super attentive to Frankie’s needs and took many photos during their day together :) He was very responsive and Frankie was very comfortable with him after just one day. Dylan is an awesome choice and I highly recommend him as a sitter!”
“Morgan is absolutely terrific! And her dog Attitcus is also a good playmate too! Morgan is very communicative— she provides tons of updates (both in photos and in writing) so that you know your pup is in good hands! She’s very responsive in her messages throughout the day. You’re never left wondering how your little furry is doing. She’s very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. She cares about your dog and its wellbeing in that it’s having a fun time at her place. She even dealt superbly with a surprise diarrhea situation that our puppy had. I’d highly recommend Morgan to others!”
“Patricia is absolutely fantastic! She was a true life saver when we got our puppy, not realizing how young the puppy was and that it couldn't be created yet while we were at work. She understood that the puppy would take more attention and care than some of her other clients and Patricia was very committed to giving our pup what she needed. She also gave us some great tips for first time puppy owners. Another great thing is her scheduling for drop off and pick up is very flexible. We continue to use her although our girl is spending more time at home. We appreciate her very much.”
“Monica was amazing and so easy to work with. My pup had a wonderful day. She played with other pups. She went on walks. She took naps and she snuggled on the couch. How do I know all these happened? Monica sent me plenty of pictures and videos! The pup and I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Marsha did a phenomenal job with all day dog-sitting! She went out of her way to accomodate our requests and was ready for our visit! Our pup can be very nervous in new place and with new people, and can get some separation anxiety as well. We previously had been doing dog sitting at our vet, but she was always a nervous wreck afterwards. After just a short time at Marsha's she was playing and running around, and even ate all her dinner! I could not believe how happy she looked! Marsha sent us frequent updates and videos, and we felt like our dog was in good hands. When we picked her up, she was playing with a squeaky toy and didn't even want to leave! It was our first time using Rover, and Marsha did such an amazing job helping us feel at ease with the process. I highly recommend Marsha for dog sitting and other services!”
“Tommy looked after our little chihuahua-mix for a day and Western was in very good hands! Tommy was extremely fast at responding and was very flexible when booking a meet-and-greet. He and his partner are both really friendly and nice, as well as his doggie Paku! Western had a great time snuggling with Tommy and didn't take long to get acclimated. Tommy is very close to where we live so it was very convenient picking up and dropping Western off. Tommy was also really flexible with pick-up and drop-off times! Thank you Tommy and Kim!”
“Hector took great care of our pup during doggy care for two days. He sent several photos each day and was very kind and courteous. We would highly recommend him! Thank you, Hector!”
About: Hello! I have trained puppies and dogs for basic obedience and shows for 15 years. I started as a mentee at 9 with a certified show dog runner and trainer for 1.5 years and started training my neighbor’s dogs as practice. I have since started boarding various pets throughout college up until now. As a pet owner, I know just how important it is to find the right person to care for and be responsible for our family members - I’m definitely that person and will ensure the upmost respect for you and your pets! I like to give my clients and their pets the time to get to know me and feel like they’re making the right choice. I like to keep everything transparent and open for discussion. I live in a large two-story home with a fenced backyard and plenty of running space. I believe in lots of mental and physical stimulation to keep all animals in my care happy and healthy. I work from home at the moment so I have a very flexible schedule. I like to get 10k steps a day for my own health and make it a point to go for a 2 hour walk a day and love having a companion there with me :) My home is pet proofed from any toxic plants, food is kept out of reach, and my home is treated for pests and fleas monthly. I also have dog gates in case I ever need to section a part of the home off. I don’t like to use dog crates in my home and like to let pets have a lot of freedom and space to feel their most comfortable.
“Nichole was able to take my dog for a day visit on short notice. Her dog was very sweet and very excited to meet me and my dog. Nichole replied to all my messages promptly and was accommodating when my pickup time changed. My dog seemed happy and tired when I picked her up, so seems like she had a fun day!”
“Jennifer did a great job with Callaway!! She kept us updated throughout her stay and was able to give her medication for us! We felt at ease and would book Jennifer again in a heartbeat! :)”
About: 10+ years of Tail- wagging Trust! Caring for pups is my passion. I bring calm energy, belly rubs, and personalized care to every dog I meet whether they're playful or gentle souls. Safety, snuggles, and happy tails guaranteed. I'm home full time, which means every bark, wag, and tail chasing moment gets my full attention. Your dog's needs always come first whether it's playtime, cuddles, meals, or just a quiet space to relax. I'm all about creating a calm, joyful environment where pup's feel safe, loved, and truly at home. I have a secure fenced backyard, dogs have room to romp, relax, and sniff to their hearts content. Plus, my two friendly resident pups love to welcome new friends so your dog will always have a buddy by their side for playtime or just lounging in the sun. Also, a small water park to keep the pups clean.
“It was my dog’s first time staying with other dogs. But Aileen made sure they get along by meet and greet. She was updating me with frequent photos and gave a piece of mind! She was very cooperative on scheduling a pickup and a drop off! Glad our fur baby had a good time with her family! I will definitely come back to her next time!”
“She took great care of my Murphy. Sent tons of photos and videos throughout the day and it looked like he was having a good time. I was concerned about other dogs bullying him at the last daycare and Stephanie listened to my concerns and assured me of her diligence. I am so happy we found her!”
“I was in town for a conference and my girls didn’t want to stay alone in the room so I needed a last minute booking. Julian was quick to response and answered my questions promptly. Truly a life saver. He was able to pick up my girls and was attentive to my details. Even if last minute I am so happy I got to find Julian last minute.”

Thornton Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Liana was the perfect sitter for our Stevie girl. Since she already has a sweet pup of her own, we didn’t worry at all because we knew she would know how to take care of our dog in terms of feeding, heat sensitivity, bathroom breaks etc. She has a big yard for the dogs to run around in and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!
Tobi had a great time with Marisela for doggy day care. He felt comfortable right away with her and had a great time meeting and interacting with her dog. Tobi got to go to the park and have a lot of fun with Marisela and her pup. Marisela was very proactive about asking questions regardinf how to care for Tobi. She was great at communicating and sent pictures of Tobi throughout his stay. Thank you, Marisela, for taking great care of Tobi.
Angie is an absolute gem! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. She’s attentive, communicative, and truly treats your pet like her own. I received regular updates and adorable photos that showed just how happy and relaxed my dog was. Angie goes above and beyond—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter!
I was in town for a conference and my girls didn’t want to stay alone in the room so I needed a last minute booking. Julian was quick to response and answered my questions promptly. Truly a life saver. He was able to pick up my girls and was attentive to my details. Even if last minute I am so happy I got to find Julian last minute.
Tiffany took great care of Bumi! She has a sweet, playful dog who got along well with Bumi. He can be pretty shy and homesick, but he adjusted quickly and even felt comfortable enough to snuggle up next to her which doesn’t happen often. She gave frequent text, photo and video updates. I really appreciated her gentle, friendly approach and will be booking again soon. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Bumi!
Haley is THE best sitter ever!! She takes such good care of my pup, she’s super communicative and sends updates of how the day is going which I love getting while I’m at work. My dog lovesss her and it’s so relieving knowing he’s in such good hands. We love Haley!!! :)
I can’t thank Chris enough for being an awesome sitter for my baby, Rambo! From the very beginning of booking, he was super responsive and communicated with me as I get very protective of my dog and he made me comfortable leaving Rambo in his care. During his daycare, Chris sent me pictures of Rambo having his own little doggy party at the dog park, making me feel happy knowing Rambo was having a blast. The best sign was when I picked up Rambo and he actually started whining for Chris after he took off, showing that he cared for him and was already missing him. That made my day! Thank you Chris for being awesome and will definitely book again once I’m back in Cali.
